gift causa mortis

   Also found in: Legal, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
gift causa mortis

A gift in contemplation of death. This was an important term at one time because the IRS required such gifts,made within 3 years of death,to be included in the gross estate for estate tax purposes. You will still encounter the word, but the legal significance is no longer important because such property is no longer included in the estate.
